I created this modified rc package with the following in mind:
1) Replace bashisms with plain POSIX sh
Which means they work with whatever shell you have installed as
/bin/sh, also with bash, so no worries here, just as long as you
realize the rc.conf file should not contain arrays, but variables,
so your services line should look like:
SERVICES="net xfs xdm crond portmap nfsclient sshd"
2) Try to detect udev or devfs.
3) Avoid using tempfiles when not necessary.
4) Source rather than execute files if possible.
5) Avoid code duplication.
6) Avoid sending usefull errors to /dev/null
7) Added the script /sbin/service which saves code-duplication and
it is a simple frontend for /etc/rc.d/service
Why did I want to get rid of bash. Well:
~% ls -l /bin/mksh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 184K aug 21 15:38 /bin/mksh
Do you get it now? :-)
